This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.


I am using the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis You need a license to use his tubes. I bought this tube while he was at PTE. You can buy this tube at his store HERE

I am using the PTU kit Hipster by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to Thrifty Scraps
